I took an intensive beginner Hindi course with Zabaan for a month in Delhi in 2019. The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated. The course was fast paced but comprehensive. Since returning to Australia I have begun online lessons with Rachayta. She is a fantastic teacher who is able to explain the origin and cultural context of words. She has made Hindi grammar easier to understand with plenty of examples; and she caters the lessons to my interests. I highly recommend learning Hindi at Zabaan.

I have been taking private hindi lessons online at Zabaan from summer 2024. I am German and I live in South Africa. Before I came to South Africa I had the opportunity to check out classes in person. From 2024 I enjoy my teachers' Vartika and Priya's excellent knowledge of hindi grammar as well as their method of teaching. I have learned a lot. Their commitment to keep improving my skills made me choose Zabaan again to further my studies for a final exam in Germany. In addition, student coordinator Olivia is always available to schedule classes and help out in any way she can. I would choose Zabaan again and again when it comes to learning hindi at ease and in a supportive environment. Thank you, Zabaan! मैं 2024 की गर्मियों से ज़बान में ऑनलाइन निजी हिंदी कक्षाएं ले रही हूँ। मैं जर्मन हूँ और मैं दक्षिण अफ्रीका में रहती हूँ। दक्षिण अफ्रीका आने से पहले मुझे व्यक्तिगत रूप से कक्षाएं देखने का अवसर मिला था। 2024 से मैं वर्तिका जी और प्रिया जी के साथ कक्षाएं ले रही हूँ। हिंदी व्याकरण के उनके उत्कृष्ट ज्ञान और उनकी शिक्षण पद्धति ने मेरे हिंदी कौशल को निखारा है। मेरे कौशल को निरंतर बेहतर बनाने की उनकी प्रतिबद्धता ने मुझे जर्मनी में परीक्षा की तैयारी के लिए फिर से ज़बान को चुनने के लिए प्रेरित किया। इसके अलावा, छात्र समन्वयक ओलिविया कक्षाओं का समय निर्धारित करने और हर मदद करने के लिए हमेशा उपलब्ध रहती हैं। जब भी हिंदी सीखने की बात आती है, तब मैं सहजता और सहयोगात्मक माहौल में ज़बान को बार-बार चुनूँगी। धन्यवाद, ज़बान!
